Location/Notifications

sunrise/sunset times for scheduled events. This only occurs during initial system setup or if the user

modifies the location within the “Settings” menu in the app.

The app may also use the device’s location if “Geofencing” is setup in the app. The mobile device will store a specific geographic region and detect when the location of the device has entered or exited this

region. On this event the app will connect to the Smart Bridge and activate a scene or show a notification based on the settings.

Background App Refresh

In order to show the most up to date information about the lights, shades, and thermostats added to the app, the app will occasionally connect to the Smart Bridge when not in use to briefly update its data.
